Isabella is 6!
And my girl is 6 and we are so grateful for every day we get to spend with her. This past year was exciting and busy, we are still in a global pandemic but doing the best we can.
Isabella had two big milestones in the past year, first she started Kindergarten and she loves it! She has learned so much, now she can read simple sentences and she made new friends. She also lost her first and second tooth and she was very happy. And this girl is so lucky that the tooth fairy came and also the Ratoncito (tradition from Puerto Rico) visited her.
The last year she has been involved in many extracurricular activities, some she has dropped and others like Gymnastics had stuck. She tried soccer, ballet and did her first recital but after finishing her commitments with these two she said she was done with them. One day she said she wanted to try horseback riding and she loves it, and she is very good. She is practicing basketball and although it is a very complex sport, she is improving every day and likes it very much. And after school began, she learned about Scouts and she is having a great time, having new experiences and being around her friends.
She’s been celebrating her birthday since the end of December. When we visited Puerto Rico this winter, she had two celebrations there and of course her Kansas City celebration. Isabella Faith is so much more than we ever dreamed, she is sweet, strong and beautiful inside and out. Her personality shines so much when she is happy and when she is mad too. She is not afraid to let her dad and I know how she feels about things and rules, she questions almost everything and is a bit impatience and strong willed, but we wouldn’t want it any other way.
And now to one of my favorite birthday traditions, her interview. Let see how much she has changed, if you want to read the previous interview you can click here.
